>>13392950I have the Oral herpes type. It's mostly dormant, and no one has got it from me, because I avoid everyone and everything when it sense it's about to do the visible blistering phase, I overdose on everything when any part of my lips start to have the signature tingling. It doesn't seem to spread when it's dormant. Having low levels of stress and a healthy diet seems to keep it in check, the last time I even had to worry about it was 2 years ago. As for it being common, it's not. I haven't met anyone else with it in my entire life. I've had it since birth (or at least that's what I've been told), I don't even dare to ask where she got it..
